Poor Man’s Bread.

Whip 1 quart and ½ pint of egg whites fairly stiff, then beat into it 5¼ pounds xxxx powdered sugar; flavor with vanilla and darken with burnt sugar color, and finally add 3½ of flour and mix until the mass is a little sunny. Fill into oval shallow pans that have been greased and dusted with flour. Allow them to dry until a crust has formed on top, then bake in a medium oven. When cold knock out of pans, not before.
